Sverre Haver
Sverre Haver received his Ph.D from the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTNU), supervised by Prof. Torgeir Moan. His research interests range from structural engineering to marine engineering and metocean design criteria for offshore structures. He has subsequently taught topics of offshore engineering both at NTNU and at the University of Stavanger. During his period of academic service, he has supervised the research of a number of graduate students, at both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels.
Sverre worked at Statoil for more than 30 years; during this time, he was uniquely influential in guiding collaborative efforts between industry and academia (e.g., Joint Industry Projects as well as Stanford's Reliability of Marine Structures Program). He has also influenced design rules for offshore structures off the Norwegian coast, as established by the NPD (Norwegian Petroleum Directorate).
Steve Winterstein
Steve Winterstein is a consulting engineer and teacher in topics of structural engineering and reliability. His areas of specialization include probability and statistical modelling, random vibrations, and wind/wave loads and responses. He has taught these topics at Stanford University (1985-2002), and more recently as a visiting lecturer at ETH Zurich and the Danish Technical University. While at Stanford, he was a principal investigator of the Reliability of Marine Structures program, which combined post-M.S. graduate study with basic research in structural reliability. His areas of applications range from the modelling of joint ocean environmental processes (wind-wave-current), through the modelling and analysis of the resulting hydrodynamic loads and structural responses, to the development of probability-based design codes. His methods in common industry use include the Hermite model of nonlinear vibration and the Environmental Contour model of wind-wave site characterization. His degrees include a B.Sc. in Mathematics, and both M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
